Chapter 110 Six Can't Let Go

Lu Xiaonian was still holding the palace man's wrist, and was about to question him carefully, when a figure flashed beside him, Hua Shijun said in a deep voice, "Where did you get the news from?"

"It was a farmer carrying a load and selling vegetables and fruits. He took a letter half an hour ago and was evasive at the gate of the palace. The guards saw him suspicious and came forward to question him. The farmer was flustered and short of breath. I want him to send this letter into the palace to present to the king." The palace man frantically rummaged through his arms and found a piece of yellowed oil paper.The greased paper was probably stolen from under the noses of some market vendor. It was quite careless, and there were food stains on the paper.

Hua Shijun snatched it up and flipped through it. The oiled paper was not easy to get ink on, and the other party used his fingertips to forcefully draw a few lines of hastily scrawled handwriting.The tone between the lines was threatening and hurried, forcing them to meet their young master at the designated place before sunset today to exchange Hua Moyi.

Hua Shijun's face became more and more serious as he looked at it. He read the short few lines over and over again, as if he wanted to gnaw the skin and bones of the person who wrote the letter through the filthy paper.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the source of this information cannot be confirmed to be reliable. The other party is covered with a head and face, and the farmer can't tell the specific physical characteristics. Your Majesty, whether you want to send someone to investigate..." The palace servants hesitated, because the letter was indeed true. It can't be said that the information conveyed by the "letter" is too shabby and simple, and it is not worthy of the noble status of the second prince. It stands to reason that there would be no bandits using such a sloppy and perfunctory method to discuss the exchange of important hostages with the king of the country.

"Of course we need to investigate!" Unable to hold back his anger, Hua Shijun and Lu Xiaonian glanced at each other, but their hearts were like a mirror.

Yuli fled alone with Hua Moyi, and the material conditions must be sloppy; but no matter how careless he is, if he has the time to plan carefully in advance, find one or two pieces of letterhead that can be used on the table and pass the news. Not a problem.But judging from how casually the other party stole a piece or two of oiled paper in the market in a panic, the matter was so urgent that he couldn't afford to spend even a stick of incense trying to find paper and ink.

For the other party who has controlled an important hostage, what is more important than a proper arrangement and design and an exchange of chips between the two parties?

The only possibility is that the hostages were in danger of threatening their lives, and Yu Shui was unable to deal with that problem smoothly on his own.If the exchange is not made before the hostage accident occurs, it is likely that there will be no value in exchange.

After overall consideration, the reason is obvious——Hua Moyi is in a very bad situation now, so bad that the other party has no time to sit down and arrange the layout carefully.

"Let me go." Lu Xiaonian had already memorized the names of the places shown on the oiled paper in a blink of an eye.At this time, he couldn't care about the internal affairs of the Flower Demon Kingdom, and he couldn't care about what Hua Shijun had in mind, so he turned back and walked into the bedroom, intending to take Bi Ran to exchange hostages.

Hua Shijun stretched out his hand to block him, Lu Xiaonian's face darkened for the first time, the cultivator's usual calm tone became slightly turbulent at the moment when his brows were on fire: "Flower Demon's domestic affairs belong to the internal affairs, but Hua Moyi is Lu Xiaonian's private matter. Please, the Flower Demon King, don't make things difficult for me."

"Gu did not say that you are not allowed to go." Hua Shijun looked at him with sharp eyes, "Gu still remembers that you promised Gu that day that you would protect Xiao Yi with your life. Xi Luoshan, you are sure I also proved this with my actions, I believe that I can rely on you."

Lu Xiaonian said: "Then the Flower Demon King is not willing to part with Bi Ran as a prisoner?"

Today, if Yuli asked for [-] gold, silk and satin, and a mansion house, Hua Shijun would definitely agree without hesitation; The chief culprit of the flying dog jumping and the instability of the people's hearts is the enemy leader who single-handedly set off a feud between the two sides and recreated the bloody battle.Judging from Hua Shijun's relentless abuse of Bi Ran these days, how much he loved Bi Ran back then, how much he hates him now, and how much he wants to humiliate him in every way to vent his anger. Naturally, Hua Shijun would not be willing to give up Bi Ran so easily.

Lu Xiaonian's question can be said to be sharp, the usual gentleness has faded away, and the cultivator is obviously about to lose his patience.This may also have something to do with the tragedy he witnessed on the bed just now.

But Hua Shijun was unmoved, and just said: "At the border, you once asked Gu a question. You asked Gu why he let Bi Ran go freely. Do you remember?"

The cultivator's eyes moved slightly, as if he had realized something.

"That day Gu answered you, because Gu had an inseparable relationship with Bi Ran, even though he knew that he would lead his henchmen to return and cause commotion, Gu still insisted on being self-willed and wanting revenge." The hand holding the oiled paper tightened hard, and the calm expression that the Flower Demon King had maintained for a long time in front of people slowly collapsed. He was no longer calm and calm, and added an unspeakable sadness, "In the present alone, there is no day, night, moment, For a moment, I don’t regret the decision I made that day. It was precisely because Gu was so superficial and willful that day, thinking that he would not be able to make much trouble after all, and self-righteously playing favoritism, that made Qianqiu, Xiaoyi and the others fall into a deep cage ──and Xiao Yi suffered from it even more."

"Gu will not give Bi Ran a second chance to make a comeback. You take him to save Xiaoyi, and I won't stop you; but you have to agree to one condition - you will bring him back to Gu. Regardless of him It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead -- if you're alive, you only want to see people; if you're dead, you only want to see his body."

The person who had been tortured on the bed for several days and nights was still in a coma, and there was no sound in the bedroom for a while, so deadly that even the rustling of fallen leaves in the breeze could be heard.The palace servants who delivered the letter were astonished by Hua Shijun's icy tone of life and death, and for the first time deeply realized the ruthlessness of the new king.

Lu Xiaonian looked at the bewildered prisoner, and the thoughts that flashed through his mind were full of thoughts of killing, which is the most unacceptable in Buddhism—the cultivator couldn't help thinking, if Bi Ran was really exchanging flowers During the process, Mo Yi was "killed by mistake" by him. For this person and Hua Shijun in front of him, maybe he could get a real relief?

But this interlocking knot of cause and effect, which outsider has the position to explain it for them.

The Flower Demon King still stared at him without avoiding it, Lu Xiaonian finally understood that there was no room for him to intervene and deal with the grievances between the two.

He said: "Lu Xiaonian understands."
